Oh, I have been posting, just not very much.............and remember, I am ahead of you guys, so when its 8pm in your time.......Its like 12am here.
Tanya, I was on untill 10:30pm in my tiem last night, so I was on AOL AIM.....
Nepenthes master,
I made a few posts in the its that time again thread yesterday.
How things are?
Well, looking up big time!
Since I made those posts, a few days later I got taken out of my school.
It was supposed to be for a month or so, and they arranged for me to go there for 1 or 2 lessons a day.
Then, I went to see a lady who does psychomatric testing.
I did all sorts of tests, such as observing whats missing from pictures(not as easy as one would think!) and arranging pieces to make a picture etc
there are around 5-10 questions of each cetgory, each one being harder then the last.
Abnd I did a timed writing exercise.
We found out that my observation is level, my mental maths arithmetic is level, my general knoledge is 16 year olds level.
However, some things are very poor.
My writing speed is only 12-14 words per minute, while average is 22-24.
And for a few things, my level is that of a 10 year old.
Also, I have 1 or 2 Symptoms of the following: Aspergers syndrome, Dyspraxia, ADD and OCDC(or is it ACDC??)
Dont worry though, I havnt got a full blow of them, if I had the full blast of Aspergers syndrome I wouldnt want to go on the forums or messengers.
but when you put 1 or 2 symptoms from each one together, the case is serious.
And the lady also suggested sending me to another school, a private school which has smaller classes and nicer kids.
So we went to see the headmistress of that school(who knows the lady who did the psychomatric testing) she said the school fits the bill what I need but she also said not to expect any miracles.
Im going there next week, Monday and Wednesaday, for a trial to see how I like it etc.
I cant wait!
Going back to my old school idea has now been scrapped, I cant go back there, the doctors say so.
I will also be going to a learning centre(I dont wanna go there though)
it will be kids who have similar(but bnot the same) difficulties as me. only 4 or 5 kids in a class, and 4 specialists will be in te class too.
But the doctors have agreed that I cant stay there long, I need to go to my new school quickly. But they also need time to treat me and teach me social skills and how to deal with bullying situations.
My new school has kids from all over the place, Korea, Hungary, U.S.A, China and now Bosnia.
There are kids from other places too(but I forgot where from) I think from Isreal and that area too.....
As well as English kids.
Cases of are rare, and if it gets reported, the guilty student/group are immediatley excluded from school for some time. No Bull****.
Out straight away. 0 tolerance. if they do it again, there will be talks to wheather they will get permanently excluded or not.
Not like my old school, I was racially abused for nearly 3 years and it was proved time and tiem again that the same people did it, and not once did they get excluded for a few days for it.
So things are looking up!
I cant wait untill Monday!
